Star Wars: reboot/remake?

[doctorbadwolf]

Sadly, we will have to wait till KK is no longer involved with Lucasfilm.

Then it will be a GREAT day for Star Wars Fans when the KK-prequels are de-canonized.

I can't wait.

And the whole story of the "Veil" is already a part of CANON, as it is part of the animated series.

Never gonna happen.

Never gonna happen.

KK contract runs out soon.

I don't expect them to retcon the sequel Trilogy. That's Mike Zeroh levels if rumormongers.

I suggest a way to start a retcon.

The grand moff Wilhuff Tarking give the last ultimatu to princess Leia, if she didn't reveal the localitation of the rebel base, the planet Aldaraan would be destroyed. She confess it, but Wilhuff Tarking order to shoot. The Deathstar throws a powerful ray and.... this falls in the ocean, or an unpopulated region, and the planet survives.... The grand moff orders a second shot, and then canon crashes, sabotage by infiltrators? Maybe. The new orders are to fix the canon, and then... strange lights appears on the planet, like zaps on a screen, and after Alderaan disappear, like an hologram when it turns off after closing transmission. The sensors only detect a empty space, no fragments at all. What has happened?

Years later, when the secon Deathstar is destroyed in the battle of Endor, the planet Aldaraan reappear again in the same solar system, and for the naives has been some minutes in the time.

At least you could use this idea in your TTRPG.

I give my player 3 choices for the TTRPG

1. Legends
2. Canon
3. Infinities.

Infinities is when it's anything goes. You might be the pilot in the X-Wing that blows up the Deathstar.

It's always legends for the most part. Mostly because that's the material I own partly because the players are usually more familiar with KoToR than the new canon which requires books.

We know sci-fi get old very bad. Today youngest generations miss current technology we can't see in the vintage sci-fi, for example the mobiles.

A reboot of a famous IP as Star Wars is very risky. We know is one of the biggest cash-cows in the enternaiment industry. A new mistake and the fandom could be really angry.

The time travel is canon in SW, and Disney can allow the idea of the multiverse.

World Between Worlds

This place is ancient. Like a world between worlds.Ahsoka Tano The World Between Worlds, also known as the Vergence Scatter, was a mystical plane within the Force that served as a collection of doors and pathways existing between time and space, linking all moments in time together. This...

A reboot could allow to "update" the high-tech, for example adding nanontechnology and also digital immortality/mind uploading. The lore could allow more force-users factions, not only jedis and siths. The yuuzhan vong could be rewritten and they could use inorganic technology but AI and robots. Maybe a rogue faction found the way to travel time and they started the conquest of the galaxy before Palpatine was born.

How should be the reboot to be forgiven this sacrilege by the fandom?

They already rebooted it in 2014.

Before April 2014, the official Star Wars canon included 6 feature films, 4 TV series, 2 TV movies, over 900 comics, over 100+ RPG sourcebooks and reference books, and over 200 novels, on top of 2 MMORPG's and dozens of video games, and almost all of that was canon by official Lucasfilm canon policies (virtually everything at that time was canon unless it was in the specific Tales or Infinities comic series, or was non-canon alternatives such as Dark Side endings to video games).

After April 2014, they said it was only 6 films and one of those TV series that were canon, and the direction they took SW with after that date was radically different than the direction it went before.

We lost Jaina Solo for Rey. We lost Darth Caedus for Kylo Ren. Han Solo went from a family man to a washed up loser. Leia Organa went from a Jedi Knight and former Head of State of the New Republic to a washed up General.

Luke went from being Grand Master of the Jedi Order, who rebuilt the Jedi and founded the Jedi Praxeum. . .to a washed-up hermit that had completely abandoned the very idea of the Jedi.

Star Wars was already rebooted once, shouldn't have been but it was.

On the upside, that means that the Star Wars Christmas Special is also no longer canon.

It was rebooted once already (and very badly), then they can do it again, this time with people who know, understand and have a LOVE for Star Wars.

So, do you feel it is possible for people who know, understand, and have a LOVE of Star Wars to make a movie you'd disagree with?

I think you overestimate the sincerity of "canon". By your definition, the prequel trilogy was just as much of a reboot as the Disney one. Heck, ESB would technically be reboot of "Splinter of the Mind's Eye" (the first book in the EU). It's always been pretty fluid.

So, do you feel it is possible for people who know, understand, and have a LOVE of Star Wars to make a movie you'd disagree with?

If you released RotJ to the people who know, understand, and LOVE Star Wars today, they would complain that Princess Leia is a Mary Sue, Luke is too powerful, Lando was only there for political pandering, and Nien Nunb is racially offensive. Also, something something something Ewoks. 60% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Edit: And it underperformed financially.
